Thx much, somebody pointed that out before, so I've got past that
point. However, I'm having trouble now to get the ide devices
recognized - I think devfs is used. I don't see any devices below
/dev/ide ... - maybe someone who had this problem before and solved
it can tell me what to do (didn't try latest floppys yet, though)

Glad to hear you are having at least *some* success! Can I take it
that you have succeeded in getting into the Debian Installer and
that's where you're encountering this problem? If so, I'd guess that
you are missing a driver module for your IDE interface. If that's
what the problem is, the missing driver module should be on one of the
extra driver floppies.
I think I remember you saying that this is a beige G3 (tower or
desktop?). Can you describe the extra PCI cards you have in it?
(Ideally include the name of the manufacturer of the actual card and
the chipset it's using.) If possible, the output of "lspci" and
"lspci -n" will be extremely helpful -- even critical -- to getting
this working for you.
Enjoy!
